My parents every single time! I now go with them to stop them from purchasing more points. And I’m the one who makes sure we use the points before they expire / transfer to Marriott hotel points and remembers to book resorts 13 months in advance before they book up... I think it could be a good option if you want a yearly chill beach/ pool vacation. IMO the best value are the Hawaii resorts (Kauai Beach Club is my favorite). But I find it constraining when I’d rather we go to cities or visit multiple locations on a vacation. (For instance, there’s a resort in Thailand, but I wouldn’t fly halfway across the world to hang out at an out-of-the-way Marriott resort). It’s also more admin work than I would like to stay on top of it. But if there’s a resort that you would like to visit annually, it might be worthwhile.
